Popular Post teacherclaire Posted November 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2020 I have no idea if you've realized the number of dogs that are currently almost everywhere. On each road, Soi, at places where you'd not think that dogs are. It's the time of the year when dogs are in heat, so please be careful. I almost crashed into two black dogs that were invisible to me because a car was in front of me. When I took over, there were two giant black dogs in the middle of the road at night. I was only lucky that nothing happened and my loud horns scared them away. But often there's no time to hit the button. Black dogs at night, watching the traffic, and in a Nanosecond, it could happen. Please be safe out there and watch out for these creatures. Some owners let their dogs live on the roads, and they run after every biker. I've seen a girl falling near our place, but the dog could run away. And the dog is, of course, back on the road. The owner doesn't show responsibility of his actions to let the dog stay there 24/7. The next accident is only a matter of time. Ride safe. 3 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't see the dogs, and I wasn't speeding, knowing that there are dogs everywhere. I only wanted to warn others not to crash because of a dog. You don't have to accuse me of something here. Thank you. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car was probably driving slowly because the driver saw the dogs but you were too impatient and you overtook the car despite your own admission that it was dark and your view was impaired by the car. Then you try to divert the blame to the dogs owners for your poor judgement. 4 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats the case where you live, why don't you try to do something about it, by reporting it to the appropriate authority? Do you THINK or do you KNOW? All dogs where I live are given appropriate injections free by the local Amphur. 2 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VocalNeal Posted November 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2020 Not seen often here ,maybe. But seen in Indonesia. Goats are worse than dog's. At least dogs are smart enough to retreat to the verge but goats are "Oh there a blade of grass on the other-side. I'll just run over there." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Who would ride behind a car doing 30 km/h for a few km with a big bike? Even a crash with 30 km can cause death, or heavy injuries. One member here described what happened to him because of a dog, that should be an additional warning. And that's all it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your information indicates you have no idea of anything in Thailand, i.e. reporting stray dogs to the ‘appropriate authority’ and expecting something to be done about it. Then mentioning that ALL dogs where you live are given ‘appropriate injections’...... So it can’t be Thailand, but then you mention ‘Amphur’ !!!! Hilarious post, so full of BS..... ‘What are these ‘appropriate injections’ that the Amphur gives to ALL dogs free of charge ??... and how do you know every dog in the Amphur ??? as I wrote... so full of BS. Get smart, if you are going to make rubbish up, at least make it believable. Edited November 4, 2020 by richard_smith237 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A severe accident at night can easily be the end of your life. They don't do emergency operations if you're not their governor or similar.

I do know what happens here after living here for 11 years. By every dog,I should have said that the guys from the Amphur go to all the houses and vaccinate all the dogs that live there.. Theres no need to be insulting. Im not making anything up. Edited November 4, 2020 by Mutt Daeng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 A young soi-dog darted out in front of bike last year chasing another on opposite side. Ran over with front wheel. Ran over with rear wheel. Bumpily bump, kept on going. Darwinism baby... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I say fear or troubles? I just avoid them, by logic. I have been living in this country for 10 years, away from the City, I have dogs at home, they live on my property and I take care of them as I take care of my family. What happens outside, honestly, it matters very little to me...Of course it is always that they do not cause me problems, which would be different.
